Book Synopsis The Healing Power of Sacrifice by : Ifayemi Eleburuibon
Download or read book The Healing Power of Sacrifice written by Ifayemi Eleburuibon and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term sacrifice needs to be further explained in the Yoruba religion cultural perspectives. Its connotation transcends the mere offer of gifts to the poor. Sacrifice is propitiatory. This is why it is otherwise known as Etutu (that which propitiates). In another vain, sacrifice can be seen as an atonement -- a carrier of bad fortunes and mishaps. Through the practice of sacrifice, all forms of adversities are rubbed off the path of man and nation and thus usher in positive fortunes of various magnitudes and complexions. The place of sacrifice therefore should not be undermined especially when one remembers that evil and good fortunes are like twin sisters, almost always, each other's concomitant.

Download or read book Religions in Rio written by João do Rio and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: João do Rio (1881-1921) was a literary journalist before his time, before the term existed, before anyone saw that journalism could be raised to the level of art by infusing it with intellecual insight and sociological analysis. He went wherever necessary to observe life as Rio de Janeiro struggled to enter the 20th century while clinging to its traditional imperial politics and lifestyle. He flaunted his homosexuality a century before it became socially acceptable. Here, for the first time in English, are João do Rio's reports on the bizarre confluence of European, North American, and African religions that found adherents in Rio de Janeiro. Candomblé, Spiritism, Positivism, Satanism, Judaism, the Cult of the Sea, the New Jerusalem, the Physiolaters, the Priestesses, the Evangelicals...they all fell under his scrutiny. Ana Lessa-Schmidt's translation of As Religiões no Rio, brilliant and true to the original, brings João do Rio's insight and revelations to full light. Just as João do Rio took readers down the dark streets of the low-life and into dark houses of worship, Lessa-Schmidt's translation takes readers into one of the world's most glorious and mysterious cities during its post-imperial heyday at the turn of the 20th century. This bilingual edition is in Portuguese and English.
